Clinical Specialist - Nurse Practice Based
Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 7 Clinical Specialist - Nurse to work into Greater Middlesbrough PCN to support the needs of the local population living with mental health difficulties. This post supports people in primary care settings and works in a collaborative and multi-agency way to meet the needs of patients with a range of mental health needs. The post will sit within the GP practices and will offer assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and review for both working-age adults and older people. The role will provide specialist mental health clinical care and networking expertise, ensuring each person receives the best possible care in the right place at the right time by the right supporting service. Candidates should have extensive clinical knowledge and experience across a range of mental health settings. Candidates will need to hold or be willing to work towards a prescribing qualification and be able to offer diagnosis and treatment plans across all mental health conditions and presentations. Experience in leading meetings, presentation skills, and offering training and education to professionals across a range of specialties will be essential. Main duties of the job
Work with patients who have a severe mental illness and/or complex emotional needs who do not meet the criteria for secondary care services and are too complex for IAPT services to support shared decision-making about self-management; facilitate onward access to treatment services; and provide brief evidence-based psychological interventions, where qualified to do so. Work closely with other PCN-based roles to address wider patient needs, e.g., PCN clinical pharmacists for medication reviews, and social prescribing link workers for access to community-based support. Operate without the need for formal referral from GPs, including accepting some direct bookings where appropriate. Provide a consultation, advice, triage, and liaison function, supported by the local community mental health provider through robust clinical governance structures to maintain quality and safety, including supervision where appropriate. Provide clinical leadership to other ARRS mental health practitioner roles, such as Mental Health and Wellbeing Coaches. About us
